Well if I went to Arizona I would have to stay out there after the surgery for a while. Do they have any in-house rehab there? Also well I have to make an appointment but I want to make sure that he can work with the osteoporosis. I might have found someone here now in New York after someone messaged me on another site but I have to look into that first. I will see you about the doc in Phoenix also.

@annie1 I flew to Arizona for my initial evaluation with Dr McClendon and then I flew there for surgery. I left the hospital 9 days later and flew home. I don’t know if they have in-house rehab but the office staff are so nice if you want to call and ask. I sent my mri, X-rays, and cat scan to them and then they called and said Dr McClendon accepted me as a patient for an evaluation. They also do telehealth sometimes so maybe you could do that to ask your initial questions about having osteoporosis.
Best, Sherry
